CNTK_2_0_Beta_5_Release_Notes
This page has migrated to our new site. Please update any bookmarks.
This is a summary of new features delivered with the Beta 5 release of CNTK V.2.0.
With this Beta release the Windows version of the Cognitive Toolkit supports NVIDIA Cuda 8. The binary beta 5 packages are built using the NVidia Cuda 8 toolkit. If you are a developer and building CNTK on your own system you can still continue using Cuda 7.5. This will change soon, please read details here.
In this Beta the Microsoft Cognitive Toolkit is only supporting NVIDIA Cuda 7.5 on Linux. We expect to move the Linux version of the toolkit to Cuda 8 shortly.
A new Nuget package with the latest eval DLL (managed and native) is available. The EvaluateRgbImage function in the managed Eval API improves speed of image evaluation.
IMPORTANT! In Visual Studio Manage Nuget Packages Window change the default option Stable Only to Include Prerelease. Otherwise the package will not be visible. The Package version should be 2.0-beta5.
In the CNTK Text Format deserializer the memory footprint is reduced significantly. This will improve performance and scalability.
We continue fine tuning features and fixing bugs - thank you once again for the constant feedback!
